Kim Olsen was defending his WMC Australian Title vs Daniel Smyrk from Martial Mix VIC. Kim Olsen looked sharp using his favourite weapons to really control the fight from the beginning. Daniel tried to get into the fight and threw his favourite spinning back elbow but not landing. Early in the second round, Kim stepped in and landed a flush right elbow, locked on and landed a knee to the head with Daniel unable to make the count.
Caley Reece faced off against Madeleine Vall from Sweden (51 fights European Champion 2011) for the WMC 57kg Women’s World Title, in what was a beautiful display of muaythai technique from both girls. Caley controlled the fight with her kicks and strong knees in the grapple while Madeleine chose to look for hands, low kicks and grapple also with the result ending in Caley winning the title on points.
The super 4 final was fought between the local boy Jason Lea and Kym Johnson from Adelaide. Kyms height advantage worked well for him, but Jason didn’t take a backwards step. Both fighters traded some great combos with the end result going the way of Kym Johnson.
